Can I install Photoshop CS6 if I am running Windows XP SP3? If not what must I be using as an OS with how many GB of ram to install it? Right now I have four gigs of ram installed on Intel i7 core. Thanks

Thanks for your answer but I guess the answer is no? It says an Intel Pentium 4 and a guess an i7 isn’t a Pentium 4, is that correct? Thanks again.
RDOC, an Intel Pentium 4 was the last version of the Pentium. Intel went from the Pentium to the Pentium 2, then the 3, then the 4. The latest Intel processors are the i3, i5 and i7 processors, so any i-core processor is better than the Pentium, and yes, it should work with your i7 processor. If you notice, it says the minimum requirement is a Pentium 4 processor and the i7 core is a newer processor. (I have an i7 processor and I’m waiting for the official release of CS6 so that I can purchase it and install it.)

Talker thanks for your help it is appreciated very much and I really appreciate your explanation which I didn’t know those facts. I will also wait for the official release and give it a try thanks to your information. I guess than the latest version of Lightroom and Camera Raw will also work? You are actually saying that you don’t have to have an OS that is a 64 bit installed? Am I reading you right?
I never looked at the specs to see if you need a 64 bit processor since I’m using a 64 bit proceesor, but I just checked and the specs say that you need a Pentium 4 processor. The Pentium 4 processors came in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Since the specs don’t say that you need a 64 bit Pentium, I would think that the 32 bit version would be okay.
Usually, when you buy Photoshop, it comes with both versions on the disk…the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version. When you go to install it, it detects which version you need and it installs that one. Unless something has changed (which I doubt), Adobe still does this. I mean, there are still many people who are using the 32 bit version of Windows XP….as well as the 32 bit version of Windows
7…. and they are going to want to install CS6, so I would think that
you’d be fine with it.
